If you’re planning a trip this summer, then you are probably keeping your eye on the cost of gasoline which just this past week climbed above $2.50 a gallon nationally.

Fortunately, most resorts and travel related businesses understand these concerns and are offering what amounts to be unprecedented savings for travelers this summer. We’ve compiled a list of savings based on what some leading companies have shared with us, information that we are passing on to our readers.
